Hello,
I am working on a canvas application with Dataverse columns. I have a lot of variables that are used. The main one is called "activeOpportunity" which is just set to be a record from the "Opportunity Table" . I am struggling to determine when referencing columns, which of the names to use. For example the column I am referencing is "Start Date" as a display name.
Is there any difference between calling this value in the power app via:
activeOpportunity.'Start Date'
OR
activeOpportunity.v982_startdate
I am just trying to learn the difference to make sure there is no issues when using calling the value.
Let me know if anyone has any insight! Thanks
Hi @Crumblytube2642 ,
Display Name: These names are seen by the Users on the Form. Display Names of Columns are the Labels of the columns on the Columns.
Schema Name: This is internal name used in database. The schema names are usually used in writing queries or scripts working.
Logical Name: This is the unique name of the column used by system to access data. Usually seen in Flows, Automation, etc.
Although, this names are confusing as they look similar but the below examples might help:
Examples:
Display Name: Product Schema Name: new_product Logical Name: new_productid | Display Name: Product Name Schema Name: new_ProductName Logical Name: new_productname |
Hope this helps
